trying to paste dates & other data from one spreadsheet to another and the
dates will not change. so although i copy & paste the date - it is not
pasting my data - the old data sticks.
 
promoting your private newsgroup doesn't really help answer the
question................

robin - is your data protected? that may be why the new data doesn't
"stick".

Thanks - I joined the forum but dont know how to post. There are other
issues with my spread sheet - i.e. I can't insert cells - only rows & colums.
Wondering if some settings are off? My spreadsheet is not protected.

do you close the first spreadsheet before trying to paste into the
second spreadsheet? that would eliminate excel's cutcopypaste mode
and then pasting wouldn't work. can you copy & paste into a DIFFERENT
workbook?
are there any macros in the workbooks?
there aren't any settings i know of that would allow inserting rows &
columns but not cells. still sounds like there's some protection
going on.
sorry i can't be more helpful.
